:-(

Mum and Dad have gone home today. It always leaves me feeling a little lost. They were here for a week and it's gone so quickly. I'm going to the UK in 10 days though so I'll see them then.
Had a short session with Anky on the lunge this morning, much looser again. We finished with a short session in-hand and her walk was much more purposeful and the lateral work ( shoulder-in and leg yield ) was much more fluid.
Here's a pic taken by my Dad just before our hack on Monday.

It's awkward when your family is living far off. At least you get to see them in 10 days time...
Seems as if the rain has stopped?
Here it has been raining close to daily the last month. I don't want anymore of it. Can I send it to you?

Very stylish with your custom made fly fringes! I too always hated those goodbyes. Now that my parents aren't around anymore, it's as though they are still there in England (in my mind), I just don't see them as often.

HofC, very kind offer, but we have our own rain now, thanks!
Claire, we have a Bates aussi stock saddle. It's rather nifty but Jim likes Corkys dressage saddle.
I hate saying goodbye to my parents!!!There was a time when I couldn't wait to get away from them.
